Protecting Yourself

Even before the birth of America to the present, the responsibility for protection of the home belonged to every able-bodied person in the household. Assault rifles are not used for hunting; their function is to enable the law-abiding citizens to protect the home and family.

Even before the birth of America to the present, the responsibility for protection of the home belonged to every able-bodied person in the household. Assault rifles are not used for hunting; their function is to enable the law-abiding citizens to protect the home and family.

Why not rely on the police? The police, like the Army cavalry in the frontier days, is not an effective defense when they arrive at a location. Ask yourself, if I dial 911 right now, how long will it take the police to arrive? That is the amount of time you are solely responsible for the protection of your family.

What kind of situations require a necessary lethal defense? In the middle of the night, a drug addict breaks into your home seeking anything to satisfy his or her addiction. This criminal has nothing to lose. Your life and property are in dire danger.

Every major city has highly organized gangs that will not hesitate one second to kill and loot any target of opportunity. Do you think they will only attack in ones or twos? They are heavily armed and attack in large groups. A riot breaks out, and lawless mobs are mindlessly maiming and looting. Where are the police? They are the embattled ones trying to defend you and are under attack.

Who defends you and your property from the firebomb-wielding mob? You do. You use an effective weapon for large masses. Your children are protected by an active defense by you and fellow citizens. Assume your duty as an American citizen and insist on an active and effective defense.
